Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler
2.0

Age: 7th grade-High School

I really disliked Ed, a douchy jock bro and I just couldn't understand why Min fell so fast in love with him.

That being said, I will recommend this book to teens. It's a great romance about first love and opposites attracting. Even though I had no empathy for the relationship, I tried to get to the end (my e-audiobook expired!) because I wanted to see what train wreck finally pushed them apart since being a general asshat wasn't enough. Also, the characters were genuine and believable--a must for most readers. With this in mind, I can see this book being read by females and males alike because the male character isn't hokey and the romance isn't mushy (it is titled "Why We Broke Up" after all).

The audiobook had a great narrator who offered just the right intonation to the guy characters without sounding ridiculous. Like my luck, though, this book had supplementary pieces of artwork that, apparently, added dimension and intrigue.
